Zen Studios’ first Switch game launches tomorrow. The developer is bringing Infinite Minigolf to the system as an eShop title.

Beyond Infinite Minigolf, Zen Studios is working on other projects for Switch. The company’s Mel Kirk confirmed this in a Reddit AMA today, but didn’t elaborate on details.

Zen Studios is primarily known for its pinball games. It’ll be interesting to see if something like Pinball FX3 eventually heads to Switch.

Yesterday, a listing for Infinite Minigolf appeared on the European Switch eShop with a release date of July 24. It seems to have been off, though only slightly.

Zen Studios has now announced that Infinite Minigolf officially launches on July 25. Better yet, cross-platform user created course sharing is confirmed. If a course is created and shared via Steam, the same course can be shared with players on Switch, PS4, and Xbox One (and vise versa).

Infinite Minigolf was originally planned for spring. We’re passed that point, but it looks like we won’t have to wait much longer for Zen Studios’ first Switch game.

According to a European eShop listing, Infinite Minigolf is scheduled for July 24. We would anticipate it launching around the same time in North America, assuming the eShop page is accurate.

Here’s a look at the Infinite Minigolf trailer from May:

Zen Pinball developer Zen Studios has announced its first project for Switch. This spring, the company will publish Infinite Minigolf on the system alongside other platforms.

Infinite Minigolf lets players make their own course creations and experience plenty of customization options. Below is an overview:

“Using the robust toolset contained in the course editor, players are the creators, and can showcase their creative abilities to players all over the world! Players will place course tiles and a vast assortment of gameplay objects into beautifully crafted environments as they create amazing minigolf courses.

Players can participate in 8-player online multiplayer matchups, local multiplayer matchups, and a variety of fun single player modes. Unlock a huge selection of cool minigolf gear, discover fun powerups that elevate minigolf gameplay to new levels of excitement.

Infinite Minigolf features incredibly accurate ball physics, in addition to dazzling graphics and detailed environments, each with a distinct visual theme and gameplay features.”

Infinite Minigolf should be offered as an eShop download on Switch. Take a look at a new trailer for the game below.

Well before NX was known as Switch, GamesTM spoke with three developers about the system. The UK magazine previously caught up with DrinkBox co-founder Graham Smith, Rebellion Developments co-founder Chris Kingsley, and Zen Studios VP of Publishing Mel Kirk. Now that we’re starting to get an idea as to what Switch actually is (though much more so next month), GamesTM once again posed some questions to these game makers.

You can read the full Q&A about Switch in this month’s issue of GamesTM. However, we did pick out some excerpts below. Smith, Kingsley, and Kirk shared some thoughts about Switch’s power, developing with NVIDIA hardware, and what they’re most excited about.

Zen Studios has bringing out new content for its pinball platforms pretty regularly. This includes Zen Pinball 2, which has been available on Wii U since 2013. DLC has definitely been slowing down for Nintendo’s console though, and there are still many tables we’re waiting on that have been out on other systems for quite some time.

Zen Studios actually announced yet another table today – one based on Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The company’s Steven Hopper says support is still planned for Wii U, but he has nothing to share about a release date.

Here’s his full comment:

“Regarding Wii U, we’re definitely still supporting the system, but at this time we have not revealed plans for The Force Awakens Pack on Wii U. We’ll be sure to alert the Wii U community as that changes.”
